REGESTER DROVE
CAR INTO TREE
Companions Hurt, and He Is Re?
ported for Exceeding the
Speed Limit.
Tearing westward en Monument
Avenue before daylight yesterday
morning at terrific speed, It was sj
leged, a big Loaler louring ear. driven
by D. B- R'egester and occupied by three
other men, skidded as It parsed Lee
Monument, turned almost at tight an?
gles, dashed across Allen Avenue, and
did not stop until It crashed Into a
large tree near the Jefferson Club.
Three of the four occupants were
thrown out by the Impact and u
was badly bruised and cut. Nearly all
of the left side of th- machine was
torn away and it was tiddly damaged.
Those Injured Included I?. I >. Phil?
lips, a demonstrator, of 1711 park Ave?
nue; T. B. Ooodloe. local manager of
a tire company. Of 1831 West Orace
Street, and M. Gilbert, h salesman, of
Philadelphia.
Phillips was bruised and cut and sus?
tained three fractured ribs. Ooodloe
was cut and bruised about the arms
and legs. Gilbert received an ugly
gash beneath the right eye
Rogcator was the only occupant who
was not thrown from the car.
The party left the J.-tlerson Hotel
shortly before 3 o'clock, and started
for the home of Ooodloe. The streets
were deserted at the fine, and this
gave an opportunity to open the throt?
tle to the utmost. That no one was
killed by the accident was regatded as
remarkable.
Regcster was Tccently fined ISO In
Police Court for speeding. Ills n:p<-ai
to the Hastings Court Is now pending.
He was reported again yesterday by
Bicycle Policeman Samuels on a charge
of exceeding the speed limit In the

FOR YOUR
STOMACH'S SAKE
Always Have MI - O - NA
Stomach Tablets in the
House and Some With
You Wherever You Go.
You can't tell when your stomach dis?
tress is. coming on or what minute that
heavy lump of lead feeling will knock all
the energy out of you.
Keep some MI-O-NA stomach tab?
lets with you all the time.
Take them any time when
you have belching of gas,
hourncss. heartburn, dizzi?
ness, heaviness of anv
stomach distress. In al?
most no time they banidi
all misery and make your
stomach feel splendid. For
that extremely nervous con?
dition caused by indiges?
tion there is nothing so
good.
But the best way to
avoid these attacks of indi?
gestion or to get rid of
chronic indigestion, or dys- |^ERV?S
pepsia, or gastritis, or ca- ? ??.?.
ntrrh of the stomach, is to Ail U0B.9
start to-day and take MI
O-NA stomach tablets wiih or after
meals regularly (or two weeks.
They cure to stay cared. They put
your stomach in such line condition that
yon tan eat the. heartiest meal without
distress. Ask .my pharmacist for a 50
ccnt box to-day. Before ii i-> ii<ilf gone
you will realize that here is one stomach
romerly that does nut stop and simply
relieve, but goes rieht on and cures any
Stomacli trouble you may have.
The Tragic Drug Co. guarantee it.
Paying more than oar prices can
not possibly buy more, ond no
one who charges less can give
equal service and satisfaction.

"Hammerstein'fl Stars" from the

Attracted by rumors of the fairy gar?

RING MASTERS . MAKE HFT
Local Clowns Tumble an.l
Sprawl, While Others
Sit in Tents.
Kor the first nine since "Franklin
Street extended" burgeoned forth <ntc
Monument Avenue several of the va
cunt lots on that fashionable speed?
way and demonatratlrig course huvt
been converted into a circus lot. and
upon it was given last night the Hrsl
j performance of the great, the truly
stupendous, the marvelous, and in
j credibly amazing "Society Circus," fui
j lite benefit of Pine Camp.
I Partly because everybody loves u
' circus; partly because everybody want
j ed to see what ?ort of tent perform
, era might be made of amateurs; partly
because the ring management of two
such famous showmen as Messre. Bar.
ton II. Grunriy and J. T. Ancicrson
guaranteed the excellence of the en?
tertainment, but chiefly because the
Whole city wants to help the little
hospital In the pines which helps those
who sutler from the "white plague."
j the crowd began to gather about tho
: "'bl,e top" long before the time set for
I the performance.
j All the indispensable adjuncts of
j the big circus were In evidence, to one
side was a booth for the sale of lemon?
ade, peanuts and little buttons, whl.Tt
were badges of mcr!t. because they
were worn lor Pine Camp; on the
other side of the great entrance was
a platform from which the lusty
lunged barkers yelled out the unbe?
lievable wonderc to be seen within nie
main te-nt and the Imported freaks
and sa-.agt animals housed In the side?
show.
Only, the lemonade booth was con?
ducted by women who "go every?
where." and the barkers were young
men and boys whose fathers have
helped to make Monument Avenue; and
Richmond In general. In the side
show were seen fierce animals from
the Jungles of Africa and the hot
sands of Asia, who when stripped of
their slllling hides were perspiring
iioya; sitting In solemn dignity were
a bearled lady, a human skeleton, a
fat boy. and all the customary mon?
strosities of the best conducted "for
adlmetencenta" exhibitions?all bur
lesejues and all amusing.
Forsaking their lofty calling as
min?rels extraordinary and jingers
plenipotentiary, Blanchard Forbes and
CharllO Slckel descended to the rrosaic
j and sold tickets to the clamoring
i multitude wh'ch surged about them.
After passing the ticket lakers.
Warren P. Taylor und Lewis D.
Aylett. who, clad <n short coats, high
bats, and many huge diamonds, tore
off coupons under the. watchful eye
of Emmett Taylor, who is a regular
dc -rmmi and up to th? tricks of the
wily youth, the audience entered the
big tent. 1
In a circle about the ring?there
was only one. thus preventing the
madness that arises from the effort
to watch three at one time?were the
boxes, and back of them tier after
tier of seats, all filled, boxes and all.
Colon-! Barton II. Urundy presented
Governor William Hodges Mann, who
advanced to the centre of the ring,
and In a brief and graceful speech
commended the performance and the
charity which was Its object to the
people of Richmond, who, he said,
i have been noted always for their lib?
erality and generosltv to all chari
ties.
Then a breathless pause from the
populace, a fanfare front the "oar.d.
and the "Grand Entree and Parade"
was on. Out from the dressing tent
filed the clowns, the acrobats, and all
the strange, unseemly animals that
had been collected from the wildest
parts of Richmond for the occasion,
and fell Into line behind the Joint
ring masters. The band struck up a
march in purest circus style?which
every musician knows anel laments?
and the stately, grotesque, dignified,
funny march past began. As the ring?
masters drew near, a sigh, a breath of
heartfelt admiration arose from those
assembled, while many kissed their
hanels to Heaven In ecstatic gratitude
that they had lived to see these: men.
Nor Solomon nor the loveliest of all
the. lilies of the fields of Israel was
ever arrayed like either one of these.
Colonel Orundy shone resplendent In
a "pink" coat faced with baby blue.
In glistening top lint, and Irreproach?
able breeches of white and hoots of
sheer beauty, exhibiting the very last
cry In American ringmaster's costume.
Mr. Anderson was eeiually glittering
and striking as to coat and hot. but
there his conventional conformation to
the costume of the circus In America
ceased. Instead of boots and breeches
he followed the Viennese, whoso styles
are those of the day after to-morrow,
and wore long white flannel trousers,
with a narrow cuff at the bottom
i:aeh i racked an authoritative whip
and. together, tlicy were magnificent
The grand parade over, the circus
proper began, while young g'rls wan?
dered about selling peanuts and lem?
onade, instead of the usual roughnecks
who inf-sc the professional circus.
Many gooj professional acts were pre
s en-tea. hut the amateurs were the
tremendous feature o.' the mammoth
performance. The clowns spra.wHed
and tumf&led in the ring?not wisely
and easily, but with all th:ir migr.t,
falling nvlih thuds that shook the
solkl earth, taking amazing chances,
enjoying every minute of It, and cre?
ating intense amuscmont. So many
of the- amateur aats were "gr?at" thai
It is impossible to refer to all of them

e Cooley,
of Michigan, was one of the wisest and best of men. as well as one of the
ablest jurists America lias produced, and lor more than half a century he
served his country without reproach. Me served as a justice of the Supreme
Court of .Michigan for-twenty-one years, and ior a consiJcrabe part of the
time as Chief Justice of that court; he served as CHAIRMAN' OF THE IN?
TERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION for four years under President
Cleveland; and h\< lectures at the University of Michigan long made Ann
Arbor a Mecca tor students who sought the highest teaching in law and
equity and questions of public welfare. This Judge Cooley was always un?
qualifiedly against permitting competition in the providing of public util?
ities. On this subject he said:
"The supply of public conveniences to a city is usually a mo?
nopoly, and the protection of the public against excessive charges
is to be found first in the municipal power of control. Except in
the very large cities public policy requires that for supplying light
or water there should be one corporation, because one can perform
the services at lower rates than two or more, and in the long run
will be sure to do so.
"But scheming men make periodical attacks upon corporations
existing for those and similar purposes, and with a popular cry
for their watchword they can always enlist local interest in their
favor. If they succeed in obtaining a franchise, the subsequent
history is commonly this: A war of rates for a season, and then
either a sale of one franchise to the owners of the other, a division
of territory, or an agreement in charges. THE AVERAGE RE?
SULT IS THAT THE TWO SUPPLY THE MARKET AT A
GREATER COST THAN THE ONE, AND THE ADDITIONAL
COST IS PAID BY THE PUBLIC.
"Whoever expects that a destructive competition is to be con
. tinued indefinitely must have a faith in the integrity and public
virtue of local boards, which experience scarcely justifies. The
legislature which exposes a great property invested in a public en?
terprise to disastrous risks, offers a direct inducement to irregular
and crooked proceedings. If men solicit from a city a franchise
which they cannot legitimately make profitable, it is a natural infer?
ence that they propose to use it as a trading property or in some
way to find their profit in the manipulation of future councils. The
true policy of the State is to give due and full protection to cor?
porate property and at the same time to insist upon the faithful
performance of corporate duties."
In the present state of affairs in Richmond, with an application pend?
ing before the Council for a competitive light and power franchise, everv
thinking man in the community cannot do better for his own interests and
those of the public than to give most careful consideration to these words
of wisdom from a just and upright judge.
